My 62 lb female pitbull, Bree, received Proheart6, all due vaccines, and doxycycline for a possible UTI. She vomited several times on 5-14, and I applied K9 Advantix II XL on 5-17. She has been isolating, barely drinking, and is lethargic. She was very active but now prefers dark, quiet places. What could be causing her symptoms, and should I be concerned about a toxic reaction to the medications?

My dog, Leo, a 3-year-old female, mated with another dog and since then has been unable to hold anything down, is extremely depressed, and has had seizures occasionally. She is normally very energetic but has become withdrawn, refuses to eat, and can only drink water but vomits it up. She also bled quite a bit after mating but the bleeding has since slowed down. Should I be concerned, and what should I do?
